Save Your Historic Windows and $30,000+/- Restore Don't Replace
Your historic windows aren’t just part of your house – they’re part of your home’s soul. Each pane tells a story of craftsmanship that’s been lost to time. Until now.
Stop letting contractors tell you replacement is the only option. In just a couple weeks, you could restore your windows to better-than-new condition while saving $1,500 per window.
The Truth About Your Historic Windows
Right now, contractors are telling homeowners across America that their historic windows can’t be saved. They’ll quote you $30,000 or more for vinyl replacements that:
- Last only 15-20 years
- Destroy your home’s architectural character
- Actually perform WORSE than properly restored historic windows
- Can never be repaired – only replaced again
But here’s what they don’t want you to know: Nearly every historic window can be restored to perfect working condition. We’ve proven it over 10,000 times.

Completely Confident
The window restoration bootcamp was terrific — incredibly informative and inspirational. Scott and the Austin Historical staff could not have been more hospitable and generous. I left feeling completely confident that I am ready to tackle the restoration of the 85 year old windows in my home. Thanks, Austin Historical!

Great Course!
Empowered
I recently did the hands-on window restoration training at my 110-year-old farmhouse with Conor at Austin Historical and it was really awesome. Conor was a great teacher and super patient with me while I took copious notes and photos because I didn’t want to forget anything he taught me. I feel empowered to tackle the rest of the original windows in my farmhouse. Highly recommend!

A Better Way
There is a greenhouse on my family property that’s been closed since 1968, and I’ve always dreamed of bringing it back to life. After receiving an eye-watering quote for a new greenhouse, I thought, ‘There has to be a better way.’ That’s when I found Scott’s window restoration course. I haven’t started restoring yet, but this course has given me the knowledge and confidence to know I’ll be able to tackle it when the time comes.

Curious About the Course? Answers to Our Most Asked Questions
That’s perfect! We designed this course specifically for beginners. Everything is broken down into simple, manageable steps. If you can follow a recipe, you can restore a window.
The average home has 20-30 windows. At $1,500 per window for professional restoration, you’re looking at $30,000-45,000 in costs. This course pays for itself when you restore just ONE window. Everything after that? Pure savings.
Then you pay nothing. Try the complete course for 30 days. If you’re not absolutely convinced it will save you thousands while preserving your home’s heritage, we’ll refund every penny. No questions asked.
*Please note that if you decide to request a refund within the 30-day period, you’ll lose access to all of the updates, future additions, and our exclusive online community.
You’ll have lifetime access to the course with a one-time purchase. This includes all current content plus any future updates we make. We’re continually enhancing this course by introducing new materials, expanding lessons, and incorporating valuable tips and techniques based on student feedback. We’re also committed to growing our online community, where you can connect with other students, exchange ideas, and receive ongoing support. Whether you’re eager to start restoring windows immediately or prefer to learn at your own pace, you’ll have access to an ever-growing resource library and community.
Consider this: The average window replacement costs $1,500. If you restore just ONE window yourself, you’ve already saved $903. Most homes have 20-30 windows – that’s up to $45,000 in potential savings. This course pays for itself almost three times over with your very first window. Plus, you’re getting lifetime access to expertise that usually costs $150/hour in consulting fees.
That’s exactly why we created this course! Many of our most successful students had never picked up a tool before. Scott designed every lesson assuming zero prior knowledge. You’ll learn the exact same techniques he teaches in his $1,997 in-person workshops, but with the ability to pause, rewind, and practice at your own pace!
That’s the beauty of this format – you work at your own pace. The course is broken into bite-sized modules you can complete in 15-30 minutes. Some students restore one window per weekend, others tackle their whole house over several months. Unlike hiring contractors, you control the timeline. Plus, lifetime access means you can return to the material whenever it fits your schedule.
We’ve yet to meet a window that couldn’t be restored. Even windows with severe rot, broken ropes, or decades of paint build-up can be brought back to life. Scott shows you exactly how to assess and repair every type of damage. In fact, the worse condition your windows are in, the more money you’ll save by restoring them yourself.
Scott has restored windows from every era (1800s-1950s) and architectural style. The course covers all common window types and variations. More importantly, you’ll learn the underlying principles that apply to any wooden window. Our private community also means you can get specific guidance for your unique situations.
Most students spend $200-300 on tools that will last a lifetime. Compare that to $1,500+ per window for replacement! We show you exactly what to buy, where to find the best deals, and which expensive tools you can skip. Many materials can be sourced locally for pennies on the dollar compared to replacement costs.
While YouTube can be helpful, it can’t provide the systematic, comprehensive training you need for successful restoration. Our course includes professional techniques you won’t find anywhere else, plus direct access to expert guidance. When you’re halfway through a project, you don’t want to discover that YouTube video missed a crucial step.
Safety is our top priority. The course includes a complete module on lead-safe work practices, teaching you the same EPA-approved techniques professionals use. You’ll learn how to test for lead and work safely if it’s present. This knowledge alone is worth the course price – professional lead safety training courses cost $500
The best time to save your windows is now. Every day you wait is another day of energy loss and potential damage. Many restoration steps can be done indoors during any weather. By enrolling today, you can learn the techniques and gather materials now, so you’re ready to hit the ground running when weather permits.
You’re never alone in this journey. Beyond the comprehensive video training, you get access to:
- Our private community of fellow restorers
- Monthly live Q&A sessions with Scott
- Step-by-step troubleshooting guides
- Expert feedback on your specific challenges Unlike YouTube videos or books, you have a direct line to expert help whenever you need it.
